We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages. This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING." These words mean: You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions. You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions. All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed. IMPORTANT WARNING: SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following: [] Read all instructions before using the dishwasher. [] Do not tamper with controls. [] Use the dishwasher only for its intended function. [] Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish racks of the dishwasher. [] Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children. [] When loading items to be washed: 1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal; and 2) Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries. [] Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations. [] Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use. [] Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place. [] To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher. [] Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the dishwasher turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time. [] Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS For a grounded, cord-connected Tip Over Hazard Do not use dishwasher until completely dishwasher: The dishwasher must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. The dishwasher is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. installed. Do not push down on open door. Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts. WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the dishwasher is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the dishwasher; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. For a permanently Electrical Shock Hazard Electrically ground dishwasher. Connect ground terminal box. wire to green ground connector in dishwasher: SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions fire, or electrical shock. connected The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipmentgrounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipmentgrounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher. can result in death, • Install where dishwasher is protected from the elements. Protect against freezing to avoid possible rupture of fill valve. Such ruptures are not covered by the warranty. See "Storing" section for winter storage information. • Install and level dishwasher on a floor that will hold the weight, and in an area suitable for its size and use. • Remove all shipping plugs from hoses and connectors as the cap on the drain outlet) before installing.

Push door firmly closed. The door latches automatically. Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the water is hot. (See "Dishwasher Efficiency Tips.") Turn off water. 1. Open the door slightly. 2. Wait for the spraying action to stop. Then open the door all the way, if needed. 3. Close the door to continue the cycle. OR 1. Turn the cycle control knob slowly clockwise until you hear water draining. Let the dishwasher drain completely. 2. Open the door. 3. Turn the cycle control knob to Off. DISHWASHERLOADING Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from the dishes. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and eggshells enter the wash system, you might hear chopping, grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are normal. To avoid damage to the dishwasher, do not let metallic items (such as pot handle screws) get into the wash system. Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the spray (down or inward). It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces. Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if possible. For best drying, water must be able to drain from all surfaces. Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not interfere with the spray arm rotation. • Run a rinse cycle (on some models) to keep dishes moist if you do not plan to wash them soon. Foods such as eggs, rice, pasta, spinach, and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if they are left to dry over a period of time. Quiet operating tips To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation: • Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks. • Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not touch interior walls or interfere with the rotation of the spray arm. • Load dishes so they do not touch one another. NOTE: For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed during dishwasher operation to avoid noise transfer through drains. ........ ,;*,_,:_(_ _._,.4_S _S__'_ The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items. (See recommended loading patterns shown.) NOTE." The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings shown. The bottom rack is designed for plates, pans, casseroles, and utensils. Items with cooked-on or dried-on food should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing inward to the spray. (See recommended loading patterns shown.) NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings shown. Do not cover spray tower. See arrow. Mixedload Cup and g_ssload Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items in the bottom rack. Load small items in the bottom rack only if they are secured in place. Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between tines and facing inward to the spray. Overlap the edges of plates for large loads. Load soup, cereal, and serving bowls in the rack in a variety of ways depending upon their size and shape. Load bowls securely between the rows of tines. Do not nest bowls because the spray will not reach all surfaces. Mixed load • Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and draining. • Load glasses in top rack only. The bottom rack is not designed for glasses. Damage can occur. • Place cups and glasses in the rows between tines. Placing them over the tines can lead to breakage. • China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch each other during dishwasher operation. Damage may occur. • Load plastic items in the top rack only. Only plastic items marked "dishwasher safe" are recommended. • Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move them during the cycle. • To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items. • Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in the top rack. Load bowls in the center section for best stability. Utensil load Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other large items at the sides and back. Loading such items in front can keep the water spray from reaching the detergent dispenser and silverware basket. • Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack. • Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation of the spray arm(s). The spray arm(s) must move freely. • Do not load items between the bottom rack and the side of the dishwasher tub because they might block the water inlet opening. NOTE= If you have removed the bottom rack for unloading or cleaning, replace it with the bumpers in front. Loadthesilverware basketwhileitisinthebottomrackortake thebasket outforloading onacounter ortable. IMPORTANT: Always loaditems(knives, skewers, etc.)pointing down. DISHWASHERUSE The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The Pre-Wash section empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close the door.

These metals can be damaged by contact with each other during washing. • Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk products, fruit juices, etc.) can pit or corrode silverware. Run a rinse cycle if you do not have a full load to wash immediately. • Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks to avoid spilling water droplets onto the silverware. B A. B. C. D. C D Cover Main Wash section Cover latch Pre-Wash section The larger Main Wash section automatically empties detergent into the dishwasher during the main wash. (See "Cycle Selection Charts.") • Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the dishwasher and reduce washing performance. • Add detergent just before starting a cycle. • Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place. Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning. NOTE: Do not use detergent if you have selected a rinse cycle. Filling the dispenser 1. If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by pushing the cover latch. 2. Fill the Main Wash section with detergent. See "How much detergent to use." 3. Fill the Pre-Wash section if needed. (See "Cycle Selection Charts.") 4. Close the dispenser cover. The cover will open during the cycle to dispense the detergent. How much detergent to use The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of your water and the type of detergent. If you use too little, dishes won't be clean. If you use too much in soft water, glassware will etch. • Water hardness can change over a period of time. Find out your water's hardness by asking your local water department, water softener company, or county extension agent.

Follow instructions on the package when using liquid dishwasher detergent, concentrated powdered detergent or tablet detergent. IMPORTANT: See "Cycle Selection Charts" for which detergent dispenser sections to use with each cycle. Rinse aids keep water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to drain off of the dishes during the final rinse by releasing a small amount of the rinse aid into the rinse water. Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type rinse aid. door is completely open. \ to Hard Water (7-12 grains per U.S. gallon) [well water and some city water] Soil Level All soil types The rinse aid dispenser holds 6 oz (175 mL) of rinse aid.

Additional efficiency • To save water and energy and time, do not rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. • Use a low energy, quick, or short cycle whenever possible. These cycles use less hot water and energy than a normal cycle. • Use a delay feature (on some models) to run your dishwasher during off-peak hours. Local utilities recommend avoiding heavy usage of energy at certain times of day. • During the summer, run your dishwasher at night. This reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen. • Use the energy-saving dry option whenever possible. Allow longer drying times (overnight) when using these options. Use a rinse aid to improve drying. • Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash or rinse portion of the cycle only when needed. • Run your dishwasher with full loads. Run a rinse cycle after meals until the dishwasher is full. To check water temperature 1. Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher least 1 minute. 2. Place a candy or meat thermometer cup. 3. Check the temperature running into the cup. for at in a glass measuring on the thermometer as the water is tips If your home is equipped with a water softener, you may want to avoid starting the dishwasher during the regeneration of the softener, since this may contribute to poor wash performance. Cyce S®®c on Ch@'Is Turn the cycle control knob to the desired cycle. If the door is latched, you will hear the cycles start and stop as the cycle control knob passes each cycle mark.

Replace the bottom rack with the rack bumpers facing the door. NOTE: Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled. Cleaning the exterior In most cases, regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent is all that is necessary to keep the outside of your dishwasher looking nice and clean. Check the drain air gap anytime your dishwasher well. isn't draining Some state or local plumbing codes require the addition of a drain air gap between a built-in dishwasher and the home drain system. If a drain is clogged, the drain air gap protects your dishwasher from water backing up into it. Cleaning the interior Hard water minerals can cause a white film to build up on the inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area. Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled. You may want to wear rubber gloves. Do not use any type of cleanser other than dishwasher detergent because it may cause foaming or sudsing. The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or countertop near the dishwasher. To order a drain air gap, contact your local dealer; or call us or your nearest designated service center and ask for Part Number 300096. For more information, see "Assistance or Service." To clean interior NOTE: The drain air gap is an external plumbing device that is not part of your dishwasher. The warranty provided with your dishwasher does not cover service costs directly associated with the cleaning or repair of the external drain air gap. Make a paste with powdered dishwasher detergent on a damp sponge and clean. OR Use liquid automatic damp sponge. OR dishwasher detergent and clean with a See the vinegar rinse procedure in "Spotting and filming on dishes" in "Troubleshooting." NOTE: Run a Wash or Normal Wash cycle with detergent after cleaning the interior. The filter system requires periodic cleaning as needed. To clean screen 1. Wait at least 20 minutes after a cycle for the heating element to cool down. 2. Unload and slide the bottom rack forward. (Remove bottom rack if necessary to reach filter screen.) 3. Remove collected or a paper towel. particles from the screen with your fingers To clean the drain air gap Clean the drain air gap periodically to ensure proper drainage of your dishwasher. Follow the cleaning instructions provided by the manufacturer. With most types, you lift off the chrome cover. Unscrew the plastic cap. Then check for any soil buildup. Clean if necessary. Storing for the summer Protect your dishwasher during the summer months by turning off the water supply and power supply to the dishwasher. Winterizing your dishwasher Protect your dishwasher and home against water damage due to freezing water lines. If your dishwasher is left in a seasonal dwelling or could be exposed to near freezing temperatures, have your dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel. 13 TROUBLESHOOTING First try the solutions suggested here and possibly avoid the cost of a service call... Dishwasher • Dishwasher is not operating Did you use the correct amount of fresh detergent? Use recommended dishwasher detergents only. Refer to the "Detergent Dispenser" section. Do not use less than 1 tb (15 g) per load. Detergent must be fresh to be effective. Store detergent in a cool, dry area. Heavy soil and/or hard water generally require extra detergent. properly does not run or stops during a cycle Is the door closed tightly and latched? Is the right cycle selected? Refer to the "Cycle Selection Charts." Is detergent caked in dispenser? Use fresh detergent only. Do not allow detergent to sit for several hours in a wet dispenser. Clean dispenser when caked detergent is present. Is there power to the dishwasher? Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician. Is the pump or spray arm clogged by labels from bottles and cans? Is the home water pressure high enough for proper dishwasher filling? Home water pressure should be 20 to 120 psi (138 to 828 kPa) for proper dishwasher fill. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber. Has the motor stopped due to an overload? The motor automatically resets itself within a few minutes. If it does not restart, call for service. Is the water shutoff valve (if installed) turned on? • Dishwasher will not fill Are high suds slowing the wash arm? Do not use soap or laundry detergents. Use recommended dishwasher detergents only. Is the overfill protection float able to move up and down freely? Press down to release. • Water remains in the dishwasher • door will not close Is the bottom rack in backward? The rack bumpers must face the dishwasher door. Is the cycle complete? • Dishwasher Detergent remains in the covered section of the dispenser Spots and stains on dishes Is the cycle complete? Is the detergent lump-free? Replace detergent if necessary. Is the bottom rack installed properly with the bumpers in the front? Refer to the "Parts and Features" section. Reinstall the rack if necessary. • White residue on the front of the access panel Was too much detergent used? Refer to the "Detergent Dispenser" section. Is the brand of detergent making excess foam? Try a different brand to reduce foaming and eliminate buildup. • Odor in the dishwasher Are dishes washed only every 2 or 3 days? Run a rinse cycle once or twice a day until you have a full load. Does the dishwasher have a new plastic smell? Run a vinegar rinse as described in "Spotting and filming on dishes" later in this Troubleshooting guide. • Condensation on the kitchen counter (built-in models) Is the dishwasher aligned with the countertop? Moisture from the vent in the dishwasher console can form on the counter. Refer to the Installation Instructions for more information. Dishes are not completely • 14 clean • Spotting and filming on dishes Is your water hard or is there a high mineral content in your water? Conditioning the final rinse water with a liquid rinse aid helps eliminate spotting and filming. Keep the rinse aid dispenser filled. Is the water temperature too low? For best dishwashing results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Refer to the "Dishwasher Efficiency Tips" section. Did you use the correct amount of effective detergent? Use recommended dishwasher detergents only. Refer to the "Detergent Dispenser" section. Do not use less than 1 tb (15 g) per load. Detergent must be fresh to be effective. Store detergent in a cool, dry area. Heavy soil and/or hard water generally require extra detergent. Is the home water pressure high enough for proper dishwasher filling? Home water pressure should be 20 to 120 psi (138 to 828 kPa) for proper dishwasher fill. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber. NOTE: To remove spots and film from dishes, try a white vinegar rinse. This procedure is intended for occasional use only. Vinegar is an acid, and using it too often could damage your dishwasher. Food soil left on the dishes 1. Is the dishwasher loaded correctly? Refer to the "Dishwasher Loading" section. 2. Is the water temperature too low? For best dishwashing results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Refer to the "Dishwasher Efficiency Tips" section. 3. Wash and rinse dishes. Use an air-dry or an energysaving dry option. Remove all silverware or metal items. Put 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a glass or dishwasher-safe measuring cup on the bottom rack. Run the dishwasher through a complete washing cycle using an air-dry or an energy-saving dry option. Do not use detergent. Vinegar will mix with the wash water. Silica film or etching (silica film is a milky, rainbowcolored deposit; etching is a cloudy film) Sometimes there is a water/chemical reaction with certain types of glassware. This is usually caused by some combination of soft or softened water, alkaline washing solutions, insufficient rinsing, overloading the dishwasher, and the heat of drying. It might not be possible to avoid the problem, except by hand washing. Dishes do not dry completely • Did you load your dishwasher to allow proper water drainage? Do not overload. Refer to the "Dishwasher Loading" section. Use a liquid rinse aid to speed drying. Are the plastics wet? Plastics often need towel drying. To slow this process use a minimum amount of detergent but not less than 1 tb (15 g) per load. Use a liquid rinse aid and underload the dishwasher to allow thorough rinsing. Silica film and etching are permanent and cannot be removed. Do not use heated drying. • Is the rinse aid dispenser empty? Refer to the "Rinse Aid Dispenser" section. Did you use an air-dry or energy-saving heated drying option for dryer dishes. Brown stains on dishes and dishwasher Dishes are damaged • Chipping of dishes NOTE: Antiques, feather-edged crystal, and similar types of china and glassware might be too delicate for automatic dishwashing. Wash by hand. Black or gray marks on dishes Noises Are aluminum items rubbing dishes during washing? Disposable aluminum items can break down in the dishwasher and cause marking. Hand wash these items. Remove aluminum markings by using a mild abrasive cleaner. • during a cycle Did you load the dishwasher properly? Load the dishes and glasses so they are stable and do not strike together from washing action. Minimize chipping by moving the rack in and out slowly. interior Does your water have high iron content? Rewash dishes using 1-3 tsp (5-15 mL) of citric acid crystals added to the covered section of the detergent dispenser. Do not use detergent. Follow with a normal wash cycle with detergent. If treatment is needed more often than every other month, the installation of an iron removal unit is recommended. • dry option? Use a White spots on cookware with nonstick finish Has the dishwasher detergent removed cookware seasoning? Reseason cookware after washing in the dishwasher. • Dishes are not dry Orange stains on plastic dishes or dishwasher interior Are large amounts of tomato-based foods on dishes placed in the dishwasher? Stains can gradually fade over time. Regular use of heated drying will slow fading. Stains will not affect dishwasher performance. Regular use of a rinse cycle and an air-dry or energy-saving dry option will reduce the likelihood of staining. • Grinding, grating, crunching or buzzing sounds A hard object has entered the wash module (on some models).
